"Grant Vibration Rod".
A patent for this fishing rod was filed and granted in 1894.
This rod was a splice joint.
"Alexander Grant (who was known as BATTAN) was born at Battangorm, Carrbridge in 1856. He was the inventor of "The Grant Vibration Rod". A patent for this fishing rod was applied for in 1894 and was granted. The Application described the invention as "a non-slipping splice for fishing rods, golf club handles and other like articles." In 1896, Grant demonstrated his invention to the angling press of the day at Kingston-Upon-Thames. The rod design was unique. It was in 2, 3 and 4 sections. usually made of greenheart wood. Each section was joined to the other by overlapping splices, held in place by leather thonging. The invention took the angling world by storm. The constant vibrations of the wood throughout the rod made it possible to cast enormous distances with little effort. In an angling Competition, Grant achieved a world record cast of almost 55 yards.

(In Japan, when I was a child, I used a rod, this feeling)
There are people who can feel Joint, and people who can't, but this is sensitivity.
Maintenance free. The ferrule is stuck or loose. There is no need to replace ferrules, which takes time and money.
You can cool down your excitement before fishing while taping.
Work out your strategy.
Very good straight line stability. There is no blurring in the horizontal direction.
Disadvantage
Once upon a time splice joints were fastened with pig thongs.
Taping may be troublesome until you get used to it. especially first-timers.
Was it difficult for you to learn to tie your shoelaces as a child?
Taping is a simpler task, a ritual than tying shoelaces.
It takes a lot of time to create. In addition, my rod has a hollow structure, so it takes more time and effort, but it is to make a good rod.
Postscript
The official taping method is different for single hand and double hand, so we will inform you at the time of purchase.
